Reader Review: Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph

RWR Reader Andrew Stanton from the Cevos Group sent over a review of his Tag Heuer Formula 1 Chrono.  As a commercial pilot he weighs in on why this particular watch works so well for him:

When I first saw this watch I knew it was for me, styled elegance with a side of technical expertise.

It is lightweight and close fitting so you never bump it, or need to take it off at airport security.


I need to time events at least three times per day with my job, and the timer on this timepiece is excellent. It has the capability to time to within 0.1s, but I usually need only minutes and seconds. The bright red and white needle can tell you the chrono event at a glance. The mini hands tell you the hours and tenths if you need it

The F1 is easy to set when changing time zones and adjusting the date and is reliably read in the dark even if it has not seen real sunlight for a few days.

The sapphire crystal stays clear and wears very well over time, as does the numerals on the bezel, which are usually the first to fade. After 4 years this one still looks and wears great.

A great watch for everyday and for any occasion.

Andrew Stanton is a pilot with a major North American airline flying the Airbus A320. His background is in aviation education and flight training and has transformed over the years to venture capital, marketing and branding for small to medium business.
